§ Mr. WARDLAW-MILNEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the differences of opinion existing between His Majesty's Government and the Government of Iraq in regard to the payment of the cost of the British Army in Iraq and the payment of the higher commands in the Iraq army have been settled; and whether any other matters of difficulty remain outstanding between the two Governments?

§ Mr. AMERYThe differences of opinion that have arisen with the Iraq Government do not relate to the payment of the cost either of the British forces in Iraq or of the higher commands in the Iraq army. As I stated on 28th January, I do not think that it would be in the public interest to make any statement at the present stage as to the actual points at issue.
